Hello,

The function prototype used to call JITed eBPF code (ie. the type of the struct bpf_prog bpf_func field) returns an unsigned int. The MIPS n64 ABI that MIPS64 kernels target defines that 32 bit integers should always be sign extended when passed in registers as either arguments or return values.
This means that when returning any value which may not already be sign extended (ie. of type REG_64BIT or REG_32BIT_ZERO_EX) we need to perform that sign extension in order to comply with the n64 ABI. Without this we see strange looking test failures from test_bpf.ko, such as:
test_bpf: #65 ALU64_MOV_X: dst = 4294967295 jited:1 ret -1 != -1 FAIL (1 times)
Although the return value printed matches the expected value, this is only because printf is only examining the least significant 32 bits of the 64 bit register value we returned. The register holding the expected value is sign extended whilst the v0 register was set to a zero extended value by our JITed code, so when compared by a conditional branch instruction the values are not equal.
We already handle this when the return value register is of type REG_32BIT_ZERO_EX, so simply extend this to also cover REG_64BIT.
